GRAND LODGE l. o. o. F.
Meeting in Austin Next Monday-San
Antonio Odd Fellows to Attend
A Permanent Home.

Meeting in Austin Next Monday-San
Antonio Odd Fellows to Attend
A Permanent Home
Mr., Harry c. Miller leaves tomorrow
morning tor Austin, to attend the an
nual meeting of the Grand Lodge INDIE
pendent Order of Odd Fellows. He goes
as representative to the Grand Lodge,
from San Antonio Lodge No. II, and is
accompanied by MIR. c. l.. Sauer. repre-
sentative of the Encampment, and j. s.
Ramsay, w. A. BOnynge, ID. 5. Lem
man, and other prominent Odd Fellows.
The session of the grand lodge begins
in Austin next Monday morning and
will continue five days, or until Friday.
One of the important questions that Will
come before the session, Is the selection
OF a temporary home, or meeting place In
some city temporarily, until the grand
lodge selects some city for their per-
manent home, where their Grand Tenn
pie. TO be built at cost OF not less than
SIS 600, and perhaps at a cost OF SlOO,OOO,
is to be built. There are three cities
bidding for this prize-DallaS, Waco
and Austin. San Antonio has not made
proposition lately, though she did
some tune ago, Dul tue SIhDu iOuSc Hde
never taken any action In the matter,
and probably will not at this session. III
permanent home is selected and the
temple built, that is where the grand
lodge will meet every year, and will at
tract Odd Fellows from all parts of he
state to It's session. Ii Is q
prize worth working for. The
strongest membership is In
the eastern part of the state, although
the San Antonio lodge is the strongest
single lodge in the state, having a men,
b.rship of l76. West Of San Antonio
there are only ew small lodges. The
object of the grand lodge Is TO make the
permanent home as central to all parts
of the state as possible, and very likely
east Texas will have the choice, said Mr..
Miller. though 1 believe If San Anto-
Mo would make a strong effort she could
get it. 1t will be q matter of induce
ment, They are not, in my opinion, so
very particular, and l think san Anto-
Mo ought to have IL. Our lodge favors
Austin, as matter of course, being the
nearest point The competition this
time will be for the temporary home"

STRAWS SHOW THE WAY THAT THE
WIND BLOWS

People take to newspaper that gives
the most news, as "naturaliy as a duck
takes to water" II yon wish to have a
map of the events of San Antonio, read
the LIGHT.
DR.. Neil is a "good Samaritan" and
his removal from San Antonio would be
misfortune TO the city. DR.. Neil's
"gOOd works" speak his praises, trum-
pet-tongued. The poor and the sick Of
San Antonio pour forth prayers for his
restoration to health. His church hon.
ored itself by unanimously refusing to
accept his resignation. San Antonio
cannot spare such a man-she needs
more OF the same sOrt-hum6l bic, charit-
able, benevolent, earnest, and working
Christians, full of good works" and the
fruits of the spirit. What DIR. Neil needs
is rest and recreation.
Another week has passed, and what
sort OF a record have the men and wo-
men OF San Antonio made for them
selves during the last week? What good
have church members done? What deeds
of charity have they performed? 1t Is to
be hoped they have done some good, and
performed some deed of oharity-but, II
such be not the case, they had better
take fresh start for heaven. Merely
going to church on sunday does not
make people Christians.
The peoples party appears to be badly
splitup about candidates and not likely
to harmOnize. Some want French to
run for mayor others want Copeland to
run, and G X. Brennemsn wants to run
himself, and the upshot OF it will be
lukewarmness and dissatisfaction.
Fritz Schreiner, Gallagher. Col. Bel
KNAPP, and Dan Lewis will constitute q
fine bunch of aldermen at large. They
are the best two pairs in the deck--four
aces. They should be elected by ac-
clamation.
"Scat" is disgusted, daily, by seeing
on the streets, women tied 10 mammoth
bustles. What is unnatural, is bound to
be disagreeable.
Lynch law is unnecessary in Texas,
and ought TO be abolished; inasmuch as
1t is equivalent to an admission that the
enforcement of the law is impossible In
the courts.
The weather, like city politics, re-
mains unsettled. SCAT.

Highs building has been retarded some
what by the Bon-arrival OF the adjustsrs
OF the insurance companies with whom
his house was insured, and he says this
has stopped the work'ngmen from clear

Is the old sour oats and grain left from
the burned building. which are still LETT
